BARBER COUNTY INDEX. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11, 1905. One Tear . $1.00 Uix Months 50 Three Months .25 PAINTER & HERR, Publishers. TELEPHONE BO. 50. Olcial Paper of Barter Connty. Republicanism and boodle and corruption seem to be inseparable. Witness the Missouri senatorial stink. There is only one source of pride in Missouri now. Joe Folk is gov ernor and he didn't have to pay $6o,ooo for the office. A resolution has been intro duced in congress to investigate into the Lawson campaign boodle charges. It will be squelched. January 30th is the day set apart for republicans and coons to meet in fond embrace. You can't be a good republican if you don't do your duty. I' Gov. Hoch was inaugurated gov ernor on Monday and the only dif ference is that the Hoch-Kelly-Stubbs machine is running Kansas instead of the Leland-Albaugh-Dailey machine. It looks like there are going to be interesting times in Colorado. Governor Adams was sworn in yes terday but Governor Peabody re fuses to give up the office and the state has two governors. Adams was elected by 11,000 plurality but Peabody wants the legislature to unseat him. The election stealing in that state may yet cost the lives of some of the citizens. The new county administration began business at 1 o'clock, p. m. on Monday.All the old officers enter upon the second, third or fourth term excepting C. D. Rackley, clerk of the district court, Dr. C. W. Longenecker, coroner, and . Pat Flannagan, the new commissioner of the second district. Frank War ren, treasurer-elect, will become a full-fledged nabob next October, and Hon. O. P. T. E well, our new representative, took his place in the legislature yesterday. Out of the whole aggregation the democrats have four representative, sheriff and two commissioners. Tup rniiKlioo. lanlUt r Missouri is already clouded with a scandal. Last week Thomas K. Neidringhaus of St. Louis was named for U. S. senator by the re publican caucus and a few days following came the astounding an nouncement that his triumph cost $60,000. A St. Louis brewer was Neidringhaus' campaign manager. The new senator himself is a mil lionaire. The republicans are the fellows who were going to purify Missouri's affairs. They do the same "purifying" job in Missouri that they have been doing in Kan sas. We -glean from our exchanges from different counties that county printing issues are warming up in some counties. In counties where the republicans control the board it does not take long to dispose of the matter. The republican papers get it at legal rates and that ends it. In the few counties where dem ocrats are in the majority it is the rule to submit it to bids. The fact has also been disclosed that while the Populists were in power the re publican papers got the printing of tener than the Populist papers did, and now nearly all of the Pop papers are out of business. In a great many instances the demo cratic commissioners are following in the footsteps of their pop prede cessors, and at the rate they are going it will not be long until the democratic papers . are "shot to ruin" as effectually as the pop pa pers were. In most counties the county printing is contracted in January. In Barber county, how ever, it is done in April. ' EVEN AT THE HUB. Thomas W. Lawson, who bas recent ly made contribution to the gaiety ot nations, bas exploded a bomb, which, according to tbe Cincinnati Enquirer: "landed so near to the Boston state house thai tbe detonation when it went off must have shaken the sacred cod flab off bis parch." Mr. Lawson sajs: The MaHsachussetts legislature is bought and sold as are sausages and fish at tbe market and wharves. That the largest, wealthiest and most prominent corporations in New England, whose affairs are condueted by our moat representa tive citizens, habitually corrupt tbe Massachusetts legislature, and the man of wealth amoDg them who would enter protest against the mi quity would be looked on as a "class anarchist " I will go further and say that if in .New England a mm of the type of Folk of Missouri can bo fouud who will give over six uioulhs to turning up the legisla tive aud Boston municipal sod of the last ten years, who does not ex- pose to tbe world a condition of rot tenness more rotieu than was ever before exhibited in any community iu the civilized world, it will be be cause lie has been suffocated by the stench of what he exhumes. Mr. Lawson, as is pointed out by the Enquirer, gives names, dales and de tails to establish the truth of his state ment. After relating bow tbe legiela ture was bribed to carry through a bill the purpose of which was defeated by Governor Walcott's veto, Mr. Lawson concludes his narrative with the follow ing interesting story: Eaily next morning there came to my two wild eyed, desperate creatures, Towle and Mr. Patch. When I looked up( n ihebig, power ful man, who bad always seemed In any light in which I had hereto fore beheld him to fear neither man nor God when I looked and saw his plight I pitied him deeply, sincerely. He carried a large trav eling bag, and Mr. Patch two oth ers. Lawson, for God's sake don't do what they are all do n don t up braid me! I've got to get out into the world and be dead to all I know family, friends, evenoue. If I stay it's stato's prison or worse, and Whitney says I must go. I've got all the papers together, and Whit ney has given me what cash he had on band, and this check ol $10,000. Do me one last favor get me gold for it. I know 1 have no right to ask any favors of you, but thiuk if you were in my place. I have a wife and children and the great, strong man wept like a child. I called mv seretary, and in a short time George Towle, with the $10,000 in gold and bags"eyidence." faded out of my life and into the gray mist of eterni ty. A few days after a vessel dropped anchor off the Island of Jamaica. George Towle's body was carried ashore and burried, and Mr. Patch was escorted back to the ship. A few days later, with weight of lead to carry it to its last resting place on tne ocean's bottom, the latter'a dead body was dropped over the vessel's side. And 'somewhere floating on the high seas is a venture some sailor captain and a crew who, when In their cups, 'tis said, tell strange tales of bags of gold and queer documents. Simultaneously the members of tbe great and good court of the old commonwealth of Massachusetts tor the year of our Lord 1898 ro cwived, none of thsm could tell from where, their promised vote money in the form of a yarn that the "stuff" belonging to them had been delivered to George Towle, but that Towle had decamped with it to for eign shores, where be was living in luxury with Mr. Patch. - I sent to police officials to the island of Jamaica and bad the con tents of the coffin marked "George II. Towle" photographed. I could not photograph the contents of, tbe ocean's bottom. Whenever an anarchist's plot Is laid bare, the people are shocked and yet the stories of the bribery of public offi cials and the debauchery of legislatures may be told and retold and many intel ligent people are not in tbe least stirr ed, evidently accepting these deplorable features as part and parcel of the "des tiny" that shapes our ends.

Let but my voice arise From where I Atager, till the melody Bush to iull'd silence, as the black night flies. And shines the roseate dawn upon the - sea. A star above and its soft beaming sky Bend o'er thy slumber. Gentle Is the TiJr-ht' But thou hast passed thy plotted roses by For stranger trees and viewless valleys bright, jPhere bleeps the amaranth by ' the soundless stream: The breathing airs fall silent -on thine ear, Aad music and sweet thoughts but feed thy dream, . . If In thy sleep thy-folded spirit hear. Gleep is a sanctuary from the day, The fancy's dwelling place, joy's bosom friend, My Love to sleep has giv'n her thoughts away, Whom twilight stars and airy shapes attend. -And whispering winds, faint 'neath" the dewy sky m With burden of love's airs and hones and fears i'he rising hope that trembles to a sigh' The ecstasy that has its springs in tears! Ethel Lcutae Cox in New York Times. Artful Alliteration, A T.riter has discovered that many of the worst foes of the horticulturist begin with - "w," - and he instances worms, weevils, wind and otier work ers or wickedness. This suggests a question as to whether there is any natural grouping of good or evil things under particular letters. Take "b" for example, and consider how many boons and blessings to man be gin with it. The baker, butcher and brewer bring him bread, beef and beer. For additional foods he has bacon, beans, bloaters, broccoli, b-oth, bi valves, bananas, berries, bisciuts, buns and butter. After a banquet of bonnes-bouches he may bring out his briar and blow his baccy while tie be strides his bicycle. These are but a few of the beneficent things included under that blessed letter "b." : Now, as a contrast, take "d," and among the first words we think of are damp, dark, dreary, dismal, dirty, depressed, despairing, dead, drunk, and so on, the very sound of which is enough to drive one into doleful dump3. Tit Bits. Mulish. There are persuasive ways even for dealing with a stubborn mule. At the entrance to the subway extension near Trinity church the other, morn ing a negro driver, tried to persuade his impassive steed to entr the cage in which he was to be lowe d down the shaft. -The mule approacned the cage, but not nearer than two feet There he stopped, and no amount of patting, tugging or kicking availed to move him forward. Finally the driver divested, himself of hi3 coat and tied it about - the mule's eyes. But that wasn't enough. The sagacity of the kicker was too great, and he again stopped on the edge of the cage. The mule was led away and turned around several times to mix him up. He wa3 not to be- mlxed. Then the cage was moved and the driver led his mule blindfolded all the way around the block. This time' he was fooled and wa3 in the hated cage'. It had taken an hour and amused at least a thousand passersby; New York Sun. Woman's Happiest Age. When a girl is eighteen she thinkB the best timo of a woman's life must certainly be from eighteen to twenty two. When she has passed her twenty-second year, she is decidedly of opinion that from then until the age of twenty-eight really marks the lim its of the best time, and when thirty comes on the scene she is ready to give way to all those who believe a woman to be then at the zenith of her life. It is generally maintained that after twenty-five the average woman begins to attain her physical and men tal perfection, and that for some eight or ten years after this she still re tains her charms undiminished. - Af ter this time, of course, it depends en tirely upon the woman whether she chooses to advertise her years, or by her charming personality and clever dressing conceal all ravages of time.
